Gumby fashion design: feet of clay?

Dear Blog Guy, I am a Gumby, and proud of it. Why does the fashion world just ignore us? Gumby women like to look good, too, and we will NOT be ignored any longer!

I hear you. In their defense, many big fashion names say it’s tough to design nice clothes for models who tend to melt under hot runway lights.  Our own photographers point out that clay animation is a pretty tedious way to shoot the fast-paced world of haute couture. 

Having said that, things may be looking up for you. This creation from a fashion show in Russia shows that designers have you in mind, but you may just need to be a bit flexible.  Well, actually, I guess you probably are
